Fun Monday Challenge #51 - Dare to be Happy!

This challenge is pure fun! Go to the "Life is Good" website, where you will find a section of Good Vibes (or just click here if you don't have time to explore), and just have a whole lot of fun, book mark the page and hang out there whenever you need a boost. But specifically, for today's challenge, look at the 50 Ways to Have More Fun Today! It's a great list full of little moving pictures of milk shakes and hula hoops. So much fun. Then create an art piece that will remind you to check in on your level of fun as much as possible. Put it in an area of your life where you need it most. As always, feel
free to share your work or play on Instagram by adding
#14SecretsChallenge to your description, or by adding your photo to our Flickr pool.

The 14 Secrets for a Happy Artist's Life is all about art making, art exchange, and making ourselves happy with art. We are a group of artists that share, swap, exchange and inspire all things artistic from artist's trading cards to fat books and puppets, mostly through our postal services. We have a yahoo group here.

The 14 Secrets

1. Find 3 good things every day, whether they are experiences, or objects, or both. Find a way to use them in art. 2. Make everything special. Embellish your life. 3. Look for Fairy God-mothers and Angels. Be ready for experiences that will delight and surprise you. 4. Play more often. 5. Look for the smiling faces. 6. Wish everyone a happy life. 7. Find something to love about where you are everyday. 8. Make art everyday. 9. Create time for yourself. 10. Honor thy grandmothers as much as possible. (Of course grandfathers need honor too, but historically and culturally we are a little weaker in the honoring grandmother side of things.) 11. Play with the grandchildren as much as possible. 12. Create beauty with what you have on hand. 13. Make art with friends. Make art as gifts. 14. Create a list of secrets for a happy life and pass it on.
